Hi I'm Rebecca

About Me

Copy and Share

I have lived in Utah, Texas, Illinios, Maryland, and Colorado. I love the people I have met and the experiences I had in each of these places. I am married. My husband and I have six children-five sons and one daughter. My oldest son and my daughter are newly married. I ran my first marathon on my 46th birthday. I have ridden two centurys on my bicycle and one with my husband on the back of our tandem. I also love to hike. I love to bake, especially during the fall season. Everytime I bake bread, I give a loaf away. I go to school part time, trying to finish a degree I started 29 years ago. I just started taking piano lessons in hopes of being able to play the hymns of Zion. I am also trying to learn the Spanish language. Even though there are differences in our beliefs, I enjoy studing God's word with my friends of other faiths and, am a BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) graduate.

Why I am a Mormon

As a young girl attending church, I learned a song with the words: "dare to do right, dare to be true, you have a work that no other can do". I knew at a young age that I wanted to be apart of God's work. That he sent me here on earth to do a great work. I believe a significant part of that work is being a mother. The teachings of the restored gospel have been the biggest help to me as a mother.

How I live my faith

I love to teach. Currently I teach the teachers of other organizations in the church. Together we learn about how to be effective teachers. I believe that "the major role of a teacher is to prepare the way such that the people [taught] will have a spiritual experience with the Lord". I also enjoy spending time at Camp Batel (a summer camp for young women ages 12-18). "Batel" is the Hebrew word for "daughter of God". I love to study the scriptures, especially by topic. I visit a lady with Alzhiemer in a nursing home every month. We often sing together.

Did you know that Jesus Christ established a church when he was on the earth and called 12 apostles to lead the church after his death? Watch this video to learn why there are so many churches today and how Christ's church was restored to the earth.

"Mormon temples are a sacred place for church members to visit and make sacred promises with God like keep his commandments or marriage promises. Temples were used in biblical times. Jesus Christ spent a lot of time in the temple teaching and healing.
